What’s In My Bag
Apropos to nothing except wanting to document my golf obsession for posterity, here are some notes on what I have in my golf bag, with additional detail on what clubs I use and what distances I hit them.
Equipment: balls, tees, gloves, ball mark fixer, brush,
towel, notebook, pens
Personal care: sunscreen, body spray, gum, first aid kit, hand
warmers
Clubs (14): lob wedge, gap wedge, pitching wedge, 9-iron,
8-iron, 7-iron, 6-iron, 5-iron, 4-iron, 3-iron, hybrid, fairway wood, driver
Yardages/uses:
Lob wedge – 30-70

green)

6-iron – 150
